FSV Frankfurt is a German football club based in the Bornheim district of Frankfurt, Hesse and founded in 1899.
The club plays in the shadow of larger and much more successful Eintracht Frankfurt. The pinnacle of the team's achievement was a losing appearance in the 1925 national final, 0:1 to 1. FC Nürnburg, and the capture of a German amateur title in 1972. FSV was a regular tier II side from the early 60's through to the early 80's. Today they play in the Oberliga Hessen (IV) after a long run in the Amateur Oberliga Hessen (III) that ended at the turn of the century.
The club also fields a women's side which has enjoyed considerable success, including three national championships and five German Cups, between 1986 and 1998.
